Moral Supremacism of Extreme Left is Mainstream

Trump Embarrasses Himself and Our Country

By Nicolas Kristof, Nov. 19, 2016 (LINK to article)

Is Steve Bannon really a "white supremacist", or just a white man who doesn't deny and despise his own race the way that white liberals do, because beholden to an ideology of white racial self-denial and self-contempt?

It's an ideology which began as an overreaction to the evils of Nazism and the Holocaust, before being incorporated into the state's age-old strategy of divide and rule, whereby society is divided into a morally superior, now supposedly unprejudiced, "colour-blind" and xenophilic elite, on the one hand, and the morally inferior, naturally (evolved human nature being what it is) prejudiced, not colour-blind, but xenophobically-inclined masses, on the other, who must submit to the authority of and domination by their "moral superiors".

It is not white supremacism of the extreme Right we have to fear, but the moral supremacism of the extreme Left, which for decades now has been mainstream and dominates the West's political culture.

Society has always been dominated by moral supremacists, of course. It used to be the clergy with their religious ideology; now, in our more secular times, it's their modern heirs and counterparts in academia, politics and the media with their ideology of post-racial  multiculturalism.

I elaborate on these ideas in this and appended BLOGS.

Trump, Clinton & White Identity

Trump? How Could We?

By Thomas Friedman, September 27 2016 (LINK to article)

"Electing such a man [as Donald Trump] would be insanity."  

I'm inclined to agree. But electing Clinton, who, like her husband and all so-called "progressives",  is committed to an ideology of white racial self-denial and self-contempt, would also be insane - certainly for white America.

In overreaction to the evil of the white supremacism of Jim Crow, mainstream America (especially in academic circles) went to the opposite extreme of white self-denial and self-contempt.

It is exactly the kind of overreaction that the Editorial Board itself warned its readers about in response, The Price of Fear, to the Islamic terror attacks in Paris last November:

“In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism [evil] comes the risk that society will lose its way.”

It wasn't just an overreaction to Jim Crow, but also, and probably more so, to the evil of Nazism and the Holocaust, which white people were also responsible for and Jewish academics (although white themselves) especially traumatised by.

This overreaction is understandable, but urgently needs to be recognised and understood, because it has caused, not just America, by western civilisation at large, to badly lose their way (see BLOG)

Not that we were on a good, sustainable course before hand. But it is preventing us from finding such a course, which I elaborate on HERE.

The Racial Self-Contempt of America's White Elites

Bernie’s Dead-End Math — and Why He Should Stay In

By Timothy Egan, March 16 2016 (LINK to article)

"the angry millions in the margins, those who may be tempted by the demagogue who wants to make America white again."

America never was entirely white, so no one, I'm sure, not even the few genuine white supremacists, imagines making America white again.

America was founded and largely made what it is today by white settlers from Europe. It is still a white majority country in which whites remain the dominant political, cultural, economic, scientific and technological force, but for reasons less noble than they believe, America's ruling elites (themselves overwhelmingly white) have embraced an ideology of racial self-denial and self-contempt.

That millions of ordinary white Americans with a healthy sense of their own ethnic origins and identity are very unhappy about this is entirely understandable. They find themselves in the position of a child with masochistic parents, who want to include it their games of self-flagellation.

It is not just America, of course, but the ruling elites of all western countries which have embraced this ideology, that initially was an overreaction to Nazism and the Holocaust (as well as to Jim Crow and Apartheid), which has been exploited by the state to serve its age-old strategy of “divide and rule”, dividing society into a morally superior, now supposedly "colour-blind", elite and the morally inferior, naturally (human nature being what it is) less colour-blind, masses, who must submit to the authority of and domination by their "moral superiors".

This is a major social and political issue that urgently needs to be recognised and addressed.

Is Trump the Antidote to White Racial Self-Hatred?

Will Trump Send Working-Class Whites to the Democrats

By Andrew Levison, March 8 2016 (LINK to article)

"Trump's open appeal to racial and xenophobic sentiments . . . and flirting with white supremacists"

Understandably, many white Americans are not happy seeing themselves being reduced to an ethnic minority in the country their own forefathers founded and very largely made the huge success it has been (notwithstanding its failings), but the "liberal left" has no understanding for this unhappiness, condemning it as an expression of "white supremacism".

Why should white America share the liberal-left's contempt for its own race, when they have every reason not to?

Where does this contempt come form and what purpose does it serve?

It is, I suggest, an OVERREACTION to the evils of European (white) imperialism, slavery, Jim Crow, Apartheid and, above all, to Nazism and the Holocaust.

This overreaction was understandable, as is the purpose that it now serves, which is as an instrument of socio-political intimidation, rewards, punishments, manipulation and control, just as medieval church ideology once did.

It is the age-old strategy of all states, even democratic ones, of “divide and rule”, dividing society into a morally superior, now supposedly "colour-blind", elite and the morally inferior, naturally (human nature being what it is) less colour-blind, masses, who must submit to the authority of and domination by their "moral superiors".
